Adventures in Thrifting

Monday, April 22, 2013

Happy Monday! I realized this morning that I never shared the photos I took from all the thrifting and antiquing I did with my parents last month during their visit. We went around town to my regular haunts and we also did a little driving to hit some out of town shops. I often take photos of the lovely things I leave behind!

I have a new home that is a lesser beast than that one, but from the same series! Same color, but just straight stitch and doesn't look quite as industrial. Love it! Beautiful quilts, I love all the neat things you find when thrifting!

Look at all the tins!! WOW - a peanut butter can. lol And the sewing basket tins. I can't believe what you can find. SO... how do you not go home with EVERYTHING you find?? Jeni those are so fabulous. I love coming to your blog.

I have that green New Home and it is a beast! I LOVE New Homes and have become something of a connoisseur! Quilting with a NH in a table is a breeze, you can shove anything through it. I'm pretty sure you could free motion a 2x4!

I have the New Home too! Mine needs the foot pedal fixed. You can see all ours here at my blog. I have a treadle, two first generation electrics (could have been treadles?), the New Home, an old Singer that I've got in the shop now plus my Pfaff. I love that New Home too, it will last forever!http://movingontothepast.blogspot.com/2011/03/threads-that-bind-our-family.html

So jealous! So much variety! Here in Florida...I have not had much luck in thrift stores. I walked into a Salvation Army asking if they had sewing stuff (they had a rusty metal sewing machine..) and the lady told me they don't carry such things. Ridiculous!
